Spend an extra hour or two per song and get a good performance.

DW drums stink IMO...unless you like sounding generic........
I'm not a fan of sample replace because I do in fact think that it has eroded the craft of recording drums...it's a really hard thing to do well and takes a lifetime of continual improvement...from the recording side of the equation, we all must learn and relearn how to capture great drum performances...
from the mix end, you have to use whatever tools you need to get you there....and that can sometimes mean NOT using samples as well.
